Chapter 363: Killing The Bear

It was clear this new cultivator was far stronger than them. Trying to antagonize him was a foolish choice. And who knew if they were really lucky and a strong cultivator just passed by and decided to help them.Different from the woman cultivator, they didn't see Zold waiting in the distance, looking at everything unfolding.

Zold's dagger stabbed through one of the bear's eyes; electricity crackled as he tried to use it to burn the beast from inside. He was also curious if his electricity could damage the bear.

If it was between awakeners, it would still give out damage. Using the same elemental just meant the target had more resistance.

Crackle!

The bear groaned in excitement. The purplish color on its fur deepened, and the wound on its eye quickly healed.

Zold took a step back as he pulled out his dagger, putting some distance, and observed the beast's transformation while thinking about his next step.

The bear grew larger, its nails becoming sharper. 'Did I hit the jackpot that my qi triggered its breakthrough, or is it really that effective? Either way, it's better to kill it first.'

Zold leaped forward above the bear; after killing the beast multiple times, he found their weak point.

Utilizing gravity, he dropped down at a fast speed. His sharp dagger poised down, embedding itself deeply into the bear's spine. Blood spurted out, painting the bear's fur red.

"Grooar!!!" It screamed in pain.

The bear started thrashing around, each time using its claw to hit the ground, creating a crack followed by an explosion of electricity.

The thrashing continued for a few more seconds before the light finally started disappearing from its eyes. Zold's dagger had hit the beast's nerve, and he also laced it with poison.

'I need to raise the potency. It took too long to spread,' he thought.

"Thanks, cultivator, for your help," the merchant said with an amiable smile. After seeing all the beasts were killed, he quickly moved close to Zold.

He had already lost confidence in the rogue cultivator he hired. The merchant hoped he would stay with him to his destination.

"No problem. By the way, do any of you know where Panda Bamboo Forest is?"

Hearing his question, the merchant's eyes lit up. "I know, sir. How about I show you the path there? My destination is Purple Bamboo City; it's not far from that forest."

Zold glanced at the other cultivators; their eyes were locked on the beast's remains. He ruminated for a moment, then said, "Other than the last one I just killed, you guys can take the rest."

"Thank you, senior," the other cultivator said with a bow. They didn't care if Zold was older than them or not; what mattered was he was stronger than them.

They started going to work, splitting the loot among themselves. The merchant also felt greedy to get the loot, but he knew better than to try asking for one.

"So, senior, may I know your name?"

"Just call me Zold. I am quite in a hurry to go to the forest, so quickly prepare to depart."

"Of course, Senior Zold," the merchant replied. He then quickly returned and started ordering his people to fix the caravan. When the cultivators were fighting, some of the wagons had tilted over as the horses that pulled them went into a panic.

Zold then walked toward the bear's corpse, putting it into his storage ring. He was thinking of giving it to Alex later, hoping that he could make Zold's secret technique even better.

Meanwhile, back with Alex, it was now early in the morning, and time was passing differently here. He looked outside the window, as today was the time of the competition.

To his surprise, things ran smoothly afterward; there were no Zephyr clan members coming to Morgana's place. She also became silent after the day he came, spending most of her time in her underground training area.

Uncle Moria also successfully distributed the spiced water all over the city, making the source hard to track. Right now, the water had already become a hot item. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Just yesterday, another Dragari cultivator had a breakthrough after consuming it. Even those who did not would feel their dragon bloodline get enhanced, becoming purer.

Many big clans started moving, doing their best to procure this item. The Midnight clan also did the same, but since the source was hidden by Moria, they were only able to buy those shared in their own territory.

Moria himself started asking for more from Alex; he also often asked where the source was. Alex glossed over the topic and decided not to give more.

He only gave Reina a few bottles to boost her strength.

Alex thought it was better to do this. If there were more items coming out into the market, the risk of someone finding out it came from him would rise exponentially.

Knock... Knock

"Sir Alex, I am here to bring you to the arena."

"Let's go," Alex replied with a confident smile while opening the door. Outside, the place was empty; everyone had already gathered at the arena in the middle of the city.

The tournament was held in public, with some clans invited to watch. As the ones who fought were not the princesses themselves, the Midnight clan patriarch used this moment to show others their strength.

The event was also very beneficial for the city's economy, as many cultivators came at this time.

Some just wanted to watch the fight, while others wanted to try their luck with princesses from his clan. It was rare, but on a few occasions, this happened. Of course, the ones that came were also from prominent clans; otherwise, there was no way they would agree to the marriage.

As they came closer, many people had already gathered in the festival area. A lot of street stalls adorned the road, some even selling pills and artifacts.

Walking past through, they reached the arena. With a glance, Alex could tell this was an artifact.
